Faculty Feedback on Proposals

Proposals and NISPs can be viewed on the UCC Documents page of the Faculty Senate SharePoint website. Faculty may submit comments and feedback, regarding the proposed programs, policies and procedures, on the website. (To access, go to the Login Information page; Read all of the login information; then select the link in the “Undergraduate Curriculum Committee” section. Then login to our SharePoint website.) Comments and feedback will be reviewed by the UCC if submitted to the website by 4:00 p.m., two days before the UCC meets (calendar available on committee's document page, see above).
